The government office was bustling with people saying hello to "Teacher Chu".
After being polite for a while, Chu Qing returned to the squad room.
After making a pot of tea, Chu Qing sat behind the desk and got into trouble.
Should I take a nap, or should I take a nap, or should I take a nap?
After thinking about it, I had to go to work the next day anyway, so I might as well get some sleep.
After yawning, Chu Qing stopped drinking tea, fearing that it would affect his sleep, so he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Yesterday, he had a chat with Bao Guanjia. The so-called Sixth Division Prime Minister was a low-ranking official who specialized in running errands and had no official duties at all.
But Chu Qing was a teacher, and no one dared to call him.
This means that he can sleep because he has nothing serious to do and is an idle member of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
As for the matter of verifying the accounts, Xiao County had already read it all and was waiting for Chen Yan to take the bait. If he took the initiative to find Chen Yan, the hole would be too obvious.
Lying on the hardwood desk, Chu Qing felt uncomfortable sleeping. He thought about bringing two soft cushions from the house when he came tomorrow.
Unable to sleep, I could only stay in a daze.
People can't be idle. When they are idle, they can't help but think wildly.
Listening to the footsteps coming and going outside, Chu Qing gradually fell into deep thought.
The father's matter has been settled. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, is as simple as looking at the lines. After all, Wei Changfeng unswervingly supported the new emperor when the Eight Dragons seized the throne. , this little bit of face can still be earned.
Dad is fine, the Chu family is fine, the Chu family is fine, and he, the eldest young master of the Chu family, will naturally be fine too.
Continue to be a dandy and go to Bei City to play games?
Chu Qing rubbed his head irritably and fell into confusion.
If you want to be a master, you must either become an official, or be a second-generation official, a scholar, a farmer, an industry, or a merchant. Except for scholars, there is no future in other professions.
And this "scholar" generally refers to a scholar. What does a scholar study for? Isn't it to be an official?
But when you really enter the officialdom, it is also a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. There is only one minister, but there are two ministers. Below the two ministers, there are countless ministers, ministers, and stewards. They just rely on qualifications. At most, he is just a petty official with old qualifications, useless.
Among the six departments, it is common for chiefs in their fifties to kneel down and call their superiors to superiors in their thirties. This is simply not normal.
But if you want to be promoted step by step, you need a strong background, and most of the young officials in high positions come from aristocratic families, and the Chu family does not have this hardware condition at all.
Speaking of which, the Chu family is actually a big family, a high-ranking family in the East China Sea. Chu Wensheng is the brother of the side house. Because he was a die-hard loyalist to the Supreme Emperor, he parted ways with the main family and could not count on the main family.
Wei Changfeng has big thick legs. The problem is that this old man is already very old. At most, he will retire and return to his hometown after working for another five or six years. It is impossible for Chu Qing to be in a high position within five or six years. Wait. The old man retreated and the tea was cold, but he still had no background.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Chu Qing thought it was better to take one step at a time.
The door was pushed open, and it was Chen Yan who came.
"Teacher Chu." After Chen Yan came in, he smiled and joked like a friend: "I saw you huffing and puffing at midnight just now, and I thought I saw you sleeping as soon as I entered the room."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
I really want to sleep, but the soundproofing effect of this room is too poor. Some bastard farted outside just now when he passed by. Just by listening to the sound, I can roughly guess that this guy must have eaten porridge in the morning.
As if entering his own class room, Chen Yan poured a cup of tea and sat across from Chu Qing.
To be precise, this is really Chen Yan's class room.
"Master Chen, is something wrong?"
"Nothing to do, let's see Mr. Chu."
"It's okay. Why do you always come to my place to hang out? I don't have anywhere to stay."
Chen Yan's smile faltered.
He has always been curious about how this guy Chu Qing did it. He would definitely pierce the hearts of others in less than three sentences.
Isn't that because there is no place to stay? His class room asked Chu Qing to occupy the magpie's nest.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Originally, he was the first person in the household department to see Chu Qing. The two parties were related. Chu Qing had a place in the household department and was inseparable from him. They were similar in age. Logically speaking, there should be many Just a common topic.
Of course, this is what Chen Yan thinks.
For Chu Qing, people flock together and things flock together, so if you can play with a bird like Tao Shaozhang, you should stay away from him.
It’s not that Chen Yan is bad, but that such people are dangerous.
For ordinary people, the most dangerous people in this world are not bad people, but on the contrary, they are kind people.
For many kind-hearted people, the justice they think is not justice in the eyes of the public, but "great righteousness." For the sake of great righteousness, they can even sacrifice themselves, let alone sacrifice their friends.
Just like many virgin bitches, the bad guys didn't kill a few, but all the friends around them were harmed. This is an eternal truth. Before harming you, I thought your death was worth it, and being cheated was also worth it. You don't even care about the mood of the person involved, shed a few worthless tears, and then... it's gone, he continues to be a good person, and your bones are gone.
Tao Shaozhang is undoubtedly this kind of person, and Chen Yan is probably the same. Since they are all this kind of people, how can Chu Qing be willing to make friends with him? It is too late to hide.
"Mr. Chen, I have to go to work. If there's nothing else, you can go out."
Chu Qing looked at Chen Yan and suddenly found that this boy was quite handsome. He was in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He didn't wear an official hat and had a pigtail, and his face was majestic and upright.
The more he looked at Chen Yan, the more Chu Qing hated it.
He hates this kind of appearance the most, the kind of righteous guy who goes to a roadside stall to eat grilled gluten but insists on asking for a receipt from his aunt.
"Mr. Chen, I have to go to work. If you have nothing else to do, please go out first."
Chen Yan pointed to the empty desk: "There are no bamboo slips, no accounts, and no roster. What official business can you do?"
Chu Qing asked, "Do you know arithmetic?"
"It's a joke. As the head of the Household Department, I must understand."
"Then please ask yourself, do you understand arithmetic or do I understand it?"
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment: "You understand."
"Do you know what arithmetic is? It means you don't have bamboo slips in your hands, but you have formulas in your head." Chu Qing pointed to his head: "At my level, there is no need to use bamboo slips and pens to handle official business. It's all in my head. Once the calculation is over, it’s all over, you understand.”
Chen Yan shook his head: "I don't understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand. Walk slowly and don't send 886 away."
Chen Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "Teacher Chu, I would like to take the liberty of asking you if... do you dislike me?"
Chu Qing nodded: "Yeah."
"Why."
Chu Qing didn't say anything, but Chen Yan took a sip of tea and said to himself, "It's because I am out of place in the household department."
"Out of place?"
Chen Yan laughed at himself: "That's right, I can't bear to see that this government office is full of wine and rice... They are all people who work like monks and ring bells every day. As an official, you should be loyal to the king, love the people, and serve the common people of the world..."
Chu Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't let this go. If you want, go outside."
Chen Yan was not angry: "Then what is the purpose of teaching Chu Xi to be the chief minister of this household and the official of this Chang Dynasty?"
Chu Qing was stunned.
He had thought about this problem just now and fell into confusion.
"Why should I be an official?" Chu Qing shrugged: "If I don't become an official, I can still be a trainee. Isn't this nonsense?"
